More Than a Conference, IAE Is a Deal-Making Platform
Invest in African Energy 2027 is the platform where governments, operators, investors and financiers come together to connect Africa's upstream, exploration and energy projects with the capital needed to accelerate development.
Taking place in Paris from 11–13 May 2027, IAE brings together ministers, NOCs, international energy companies, DFIs, private equity firms, pension funds and strategic investors to advance partnerships, financing and investment decisions.
Frontier Exploration 2.0
Renewed IOC interest in frontier basins — from Namibia’s offshore discoveries to Sierra Leone and deepwater West Africa — is driving a more targeted, high-impact exploration cycle focused on scalable upstream resources.
Capital is Diversifying
As Western banks scale back hydrocarbon financing, African upstream and energy projects are increasingly backed by a mix of Afreximbank, Middle Eastern funds and Asian investors, creating new financing pathways and partnerships.
